The great thing is you can easily pull it apart and display your cacti and succulents in other creative ways once the festive season is over!
Have a go at making one with this easy DIY project by Graham Ross for an easy, mess-free tree this year.
Gather your supplies
• Sphagnum moss
• Small cone frame
• Geotextile fabric or breathable liner
• Mix of large, medium and small potted succulents or cuttings
You’ll also need:
Bucket; shallow pot or bowl; succulent potting mix; scissors; decorative star
Here’s how...
